Attorney Mangan objected to one of his clients, who was fined $15, being placed in the dock and not being allowed to sit in open court until the session was over and he could pay his fine. The attorney said that the police have no right to put the men in the dock., He sald, “This s the same situ- atlon that prevailed here last Saturday when men were taken down and lock- ed up when they could have'secured bonds, so that the police could use thelr own method of punishment, ‘When men have a lawyer they have a | right to furnish bonds.” Chiet Willlam C. Hart was in the courtroom at the time and asked Judge B. W. Alling if he might say a few words. He stated that there is a ruling in the New Britain court that when a man is fined he is to be put in the dock. He sald that it saves the court clerk much trouble at the end of the session by not forcing him to look all over the room for the con- | victed men. To this remark Attorney Mangan asked why another client of hls, who was also fined, was not placed in the dock. He continued by saying that in the superior court at Hartford there are men who are fined thousands of dollars who are never placed in a dock. Judge Alling asked Mangan if he was willing to assume responsibility for this man to which the latter re- plled, “Absolutely.” The client was allowed to remain in the courtroom and was removed from the dock.

Hart of the po- llce department was interviewed in an | effort to find an answer to the ques- tion put by the alderman as to why his name had been used in the clos- ing up of the gambling wheel at the | second carnival. The chief said that neither Alderman Judd or anyone else had made any complaints to the police regarding gambling being con- | ducted at the carnival grounds, but | that anything that was done by the police was done in accordance with standing orders that all gambling de- vices discovered in operation shall be | promptly closed by the police. }e could not say whether Judd's name had been used by any of the patrol- men at the grounds, adding that if it | had, it would be a very easy matter for Alderman Judd to get in com- munication with his informant and learn the patrolman’s name. Councilman David T. Nair, who was quoted by Judd as authority for the statement that there was gambling at the first carnival, was shown the letter written by Juddd and said that the letter explained the situation cor- rectly and thoroughly. He said that he had visited the carnival grounds during the first carnival and saw a gambling wheel in operation, and had spoke of it to Chief Hart, but had made no formal complaint. He sald that he did not know whether the | wheel was closed during the carnival | or whether it continued in operation. | He said he knew nothing about the wheel that was alleged to have been in operation at the second carnival, or the closing up of it. In commenting on his letter, Al- derman Judd, said that he wished to emphasize the fact that he had made no charges against anybody, but had | simply had asked a few questions that | he felt he had a right to ask. His| letter was: Judd's Letter The text of Alderman Judd's letter to the mayor follow controversy Aug. 1, 1924, “Honorable A, M.
